Midori walked towards him, carefully carrying the soup . He took the blanket out and laid it under the tree . He sat down slowly then motioned her to sit next to him .

She slowly bent down then handed him the bamboo cup . She also had another cup with bamboo water in it .

He took the soup and took a sip, but abruptly pulled his lips away .

She worriedly looked at him . "Ah, sorry! Was it still too hot?" She exchanged the cup of soup with the one with water .

Dan drank some water, then pursed his lips as to cool them .

She patiently blew over the soup, at times stirring it with her makes.h.i.+ft chopsticks . Then she took a sip . Sensing that it had cooled down a bit, she offered it again .

He tried to take a sip but frowned .

"Is it still too hot?" She was confused . She thought the temperature was just fine . Then again, she can tolerate steaming hot ramen quite well .

She took another sip on the soup . Before she could swallow it, he suddenly leaned in and kissed her, prying her mouth open to taste the soup .

Her eyes widened in shock . When he pulled back from her face, she frowned and pouted .

Dan smiled, amused by her reaction . "It's delicious . " he remarked, as his grin became wider .

Irritated, she pushed the cup towards him, almost spilling its content on his s.h.i.+rt . Then, before he secured the cup in his hands, she had already stridden towards the area where she cooked the food .

He chuckled . He kept staring at her, totally forgetting to drink the soup .

She got back with her own cup of soup and sat beside him .

He leaned in and saw that her cup was filled with more solid ingredients .

"How come you get to have more shrimp?" He sounded like a child who had been tricked .

Midori looked at him while raising her left brow . "I was not sure if you would have the appet.i.te to eat solids since you're sick, but if you are hungry, there are more soup left . Finish your cup first . I will refill it when you're done . " When she stopped speaking, she realized that she was talking to him like she did with Manta . She suddenly missed the boy .

Dan noticed her change of expression . "What's wrong?"

"They must be worried sick about us now . " She looked into the now calm ocean .

He knew she misses her family, especially her son . He quietly sipped his soup to allow her thoughts to wander . In no time, he finished the contents of his cup .

Midori noticed this and took it from him . "I'll get you another serving . " She smiled gently .

He continued to stare as she poured the soup from her makes.h.i.+ft pot . He was really glad to be with her . 'If life would be like this, I don't mind being stranded for a couple more days . ' He laughed at his own thoughts .

However, this little request from his heart was shattered when afternoon came .

While they were resting together on the blanket under the tree's shade, a motorboat emerged from afar .

Suddenly, familiar voices woke them up from their nap .

"CEO!" Riley and Mich.e.l.le shouted in chorus .

Earlier that morning, a fisherman happened to notice a liferaft on the isolated island, with some people moving around . When he went back to sh.o.r.e, a couple were asking around, looking for missing persons . He immediately told then what he saw .

The a.s.sistants hurriedly went to search where the fisherman saw the liferaft, hoping to find their bosses .

As their boat came closer to sh.o.r.e, they could fairly see their CEOs . Riley and Mich.e.l.le delightfully waved towards them .

Dan grunted and squinted his eyes at them . 'These two get to ruin everything everytime . ' he thought, quite annoyed .

Midori saw them and her face lit up . She waved back happily as she was glad to be rescued .

"CEO, I'm so glad you're alive!" Riley exclaimed . After being rescued, he managed to contact the Xiu household to relay what happened . He found out that search parties were sent out, others even coming from Country N .

Midori nodded to her a.s.sistant . Then she turned to Mich.e.l.le . "His wound needs its dressing changed . He might also need antibiotics . Make sure he goes to a hospital . " She knows that Dan could be stubborn at times .

Mich.e.l.le gasped . "CEO, you're injured?!" Her face filled with worry .

"Hmmm . It's not much . " Dan's face was indifferent, but his eyes were warm as he looked back at Midori who did not show any sign of protest when he held her hand .

When the a.s.sistants noticed that the bosses were holding hands while sitting on the boat, they looked at each other, puzzled . Just what happened in the island?
